Stepfather/Daughter Wedding Song

I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack

"The Way You Look Tonight" by Sinatra, turn to you by christina aguliera, "Because you loved me" by Celine Dion, You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban, Hero by Mariha CArey I think..and the one that will always make me cry is Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof... Hope this helps

If anyone still reads this, a great country song to dance with a stepfather at a wedding is Trace Adkins "Then they do". Here are the lyrics......

In the early rush of morning,
Trying to get the kids to school:
One`s hanging on my shirt-tail,
Another`s locked up in her room.
And I`m yelling up the stairs:
"Stop worrying `bout your hair, you look fine."

Then they`re fightin` in the backseat,
And I`m playing referee.
Now someone`s gotta go,
The moment that we leave.
And everybody`s late,
I swear that I can`t wait till they grow up.

Then they do, and that`s how it is.
It`s just quiet in the mornin`,
Can`t believe how much you miss,
All they do and all they did.
You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
Then they do.

Now the youngest is starting college,
She`ll be leavin` in the Fall.
And Brianna`s latest boyfriend,
Called to ask if we could talk.
And I got the impression,
That he`s about to pop the question any day.

I look over at their pictures,
Sittin` in their frames.
I see them as babies:
I guess that`ll never change.
You pray all their lives,
That someday they will find happiness.

Then they do, and that`s how it is.
It`s just quiet in the mornin`,
Can`t believe how much you miss,
All they do and all they did.
You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
Then they do.

No more Monday PTA`s,
No carpools, or soccer games.
Your work is done.
Now you`ve got time that`s all your own.
You`ve been waitin` for so long,
For those days to come.

Then they do, and that`s how it is.
It`s just quiet in the mornin`,
Can`t believe how much you miss,
All they do and all they did.
You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true:
Then they do.

Ah, then they do.

Brad Paisley`s "He didn`t have to be" IS a beatiful song. However, it is a little boy talking about the man his mother married. The little boy hopes that he will "grow up to be half the Dad, that he didn`t half to be."

"There You`ll Be"
This is a song by Faith Hill from the movie Pearl Harbor I am using this at my wedding to dance with my stepdad. I was already 16 when him and my mom got together and I was hesitant to "let him in" to our lives, my life, but he`s been very patient and let me make a realtionship with him on my own terms in my own time. This song is great because it talks about giving me strength and being there and I know he always will be because he was there (standing in the background waiting for me to come around) even when I didn`t want him to be there for me! Its really I great song! I hope this helps someone!


When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I`ll be glad `cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I`ll look and see your face
You were right there for me

[Chorus:]
In my dreams
I`ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I`ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you`ll be
And everywhere I am
There you`ll be

Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

[Repeat chorus]

`Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

[Chorus:]
In my dreams
I`ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I`ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you`ll be
And everywhere I am
There you`ll be
There you`ll be

I am in the same boat and getting married in 7 days. The problem is that I have a good relationship with my dad and step dad. So I don`t want to play a song that is too strong to hurt my dad.

I`m in the same boat... These are great:
Rope the Moon - John Michael Montgomery
My Wish for You - Rascal Flats
When You Come Back Down - Nickel Creek

I picked Rope the moon - It`s perfect!

Best of Luck : )

A good song I love is "There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney. It always brings a tear to my eye.

I`m kind of in the same boat. Except that my father is still around. My step-dad has been wonderful, and I feel closer to him than my real dad, but I still love them both. I`m trying to find a song for my step-dad that won`t overpower my dad`s song ("Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle), and vice versa. Any suggestions?

Go to www.dchathawaymusic.com or I-tunes and search for D.C. Hathaway and you`ll find a song called "TODAY". A PERFECT song for a step-father, step-daughter on her wedding day

I am getting married in July and my stepdad and my real dad are walking my down, but I need to find songs that for both the dances, the thing is neither one of them were ever fathers to me, they both love me with all there heart, but no good memories really.
